5/5
whenever i have needed support there has been a team of people that are one email or message away to help me with my problem
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
from what I've done the support from the training providers has been exceptional on or off the set times we had college, if i wasn't understanding something i can email and it would be explained
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
so far only being on the computer the amount i have learnt in such a short period of time i feel like the training provider is going to help me massively to perform better in my role
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
i am not sure but I'm sure with COVID there will not be

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend SSE to a friend?
Yes
Why?
i was very nervous being at my last job so long and being 2 years from leaving school that i wouldn't have any of the knowledge to assist me in the job but with all the support from the SSE support team and the training they provide i am a lot more confident going forward
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to SSE?
don't be nervous about thinking you wont do well because there are an army of people that will prove otherwise
